Trip on Douro River

Christina and I took a river cruise on the Douro River in Portugal this summer.

Looking out over the city of Lisbon

Fresh flowers sold on the street

Cute little side street

Christina and Margie about got stuck in the subway door. They weren't quick enough. We loved riding the public transportation system there. We rode the buses, subways, taxis, and veniculars. What a beautiful city.

Everyone sitting down to dinner in Lisbon. We went to dinner here on our first night and tried all these different dishes. Decided to come back our last night and all ordered the same dish to eat and boy was it yummy.

Fun little character in Estoril, Portugal by the beach.

Catacombs at the University in Coimbra, Portugal on the way to Porto.

Arrived on the boat in Porto, Portugal. The Douro River in the back of us.

On our balcony on the boat going through a lock on the river. We couldn't be on top because of low bridge.

Looking down into the town of Lamego.

Then we walked down all these steps to get to the bottom

Playing cards and farkle out on the deck.

Reflection

Everybody at dinner in Quinta de Ventozelo.

Sheep being herded home. Not an everyday occurence in California.

Walking up the bell tower and Christina got there just as the bells started ringing. OH, MY how loud they were.
